Method

• Put the flour in a medium bowl.
• Add egg and start beating (an electric hand mixer makes this easy and quick).
• Start adding milk slowly, each time you add milk, fully incorporate it, before adding more – this will prevent lumps.
• Once all added, let stand while you get your pancake pan/frying pan hot on the stove. It is important that the pan is hot.
• Add oil, add a ladle of mixture and tilt pan back and forth to cover the whole surface. Once air pockets appear turn over and cook the other side. Repeat.

Tips

• Crepes are thin, so cook quickly – make sure the pan is hot and your attention is focused.

Serve

• These are great with jam or fresh fruit such as blueberries and bananas.

• Combine all the ingredients together into a thick batter. An electric hand mixture is brilliant for this.
• Warm the griddle or frying pan to a medium/high heat.
• Wipe the cooking surface with a kitchen towel.
• Add a tablespoon of mixture to create individual pancakes. When you see pin prick size bubbles turn over. Cook the other side for about 30 secs.
• Serve – My children like pancake or maple syrup. I grew up having chocolate sauce, it is your choice as always. *Tip: Delicious with savory topping like cream cheese and small salmon.

• 1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
  
• Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and oil. Mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat. Pour the batter in the pan. Brown on both sides and serve with butter and syrup if preferred.
